It's a Rush song.  They are pretty hard to copy, well.

It is a beautiful song.  I am undecided on this cover though.   Her video is better than Rush though.

It’s an inviting cover. We can sing along and feel connected in the message.

I'm trying to be kinder and more accepting.  What if it weren't a woman saying I can do it better than they did, or better than anyone else, but just a person sharing with us their interpretation and playing to the best of their abilities at that time?  Not knocking your comment at all.

I played this a few years ago.  Is it good, not at all.  I was happy with it seeing as how I rarely play.  At this point I might pick up my guitar 10 or 15 minutes a month.

I remember a comment by Alex that went something like, first, you practice your 10,000 hours, then you're ready to join your first band.

That's about 5 years of playing 8 hours a day to be considered competent.  My finger are bleeding just thinking about that.

I never wanted to be that good or famous.

This. All the time.

I didn't think my comment projected either a negative or positive comment.  When I listen to it again though, it is stretching the top end of her vocal range. Being she said she was working arrangements for a show, I suspect she is more than a hobby artist.  She could rework this to better suit her vocal range. 

Not my favourite cover but, good for her.

This is a decent cover.

Also, I didn't read that she was playing this as part of a gig, I assumed it was just a hobby player like me.

Neither did I.  I have a T-shirt from the Vapour Trails tour that says "Failed Musician" on the front.  Alex gave it to me and it still gets a laugh from people when I wear it.

I expected a deeper voice from him.

I like his guitar sound, but them I've always like the sound from an Ovation.

I just saw Cristone Kingfish Ingram play, and I can;t imagine what his fingers must be like!  Almost two hours of intense playing.
